He was a surveyor and about 1916 county engineer for two years. In 1924 he was mayor of Maysville. Arthur was planning to move to Guernsey, Wyoming, but he was shot on election day at the southeast corner of the square, and died sixteen days later. The assailant Newman Estes and Arthur had nominated each other for mayor and police judge and were in the Ku Klux Klan until Arthur saw its increasingly lawless influences.
